About IPMA-USA​

IPMA USA is a non-profit professional association for project management. The professional association makes a significant contribution to the professionalization and further development of project management in the USA and offers extensive opportunities for training and further education as well as certification in project management.

Working with our members and collaborating with business, government, and other professional associations, we provide the leadership needed for both professional growth and the competent practice of project management.

Our Mission: Service and Empowerment. IPMA-USA is advancing project management by being a force multiplier for organizations to scale up their project effectiveness, and by teaching people from all parts of society the skills of project management. This applies to business as well as to society, culture, sport – in short, to everyday life. We want to enable people to work with others to implement their innovative ideas in all areas of life.

We offer a full suite of programs including Training, Certification, Research, Awards, Events, Special Interest Groups, Publications, and a Special Track for Young Professionals.
